you could probably make it work if you had a buddy with a helicopter to follow you around with a massive spot light.

illegal here in Colorado too....

Illegal or not, some of the most fun I have ever had! Course glow sticks and spot lights involved, but absolutely a great time! Water is always amazing at night. Our tower lights light enough behind the boat to see the rider, but in front i have always relied on the moon light, or known the area pretty well. Typically we have only done this on pretty secluded lakes or private lakes and with a pretty full moon.

its deff illegal but how many illegal stuff we do everyday (speeding,no seat-belt,etc) but i know i would have to be extremely safe and smart about i was just trying to see if the ppl who do/done it had any tips with it and any advice about lights....

Well there you go.....
Get a few of you buddy's a couple heli's and head to the lake. NO problem.
By the looks of you guys and your toy's you can afford the heli....LOL

has/does anyone do night riding i wanted to add some lights to my tower but didnt know if it was even reasonable... it sounds like a good idea and fun but has anyone done it and could give me a idea on a light set up??


ooo and we have snakes and gators in our canals should i be worried??

Gators???????? I wouldn't go during the day! I guess it would be motivation not to crash....but I wouldn't attempt anything new either......crazy....I would just pack up and move! (j/k) You have way more guts than i do....

Here are some shots of night boating from last summer. This is from Salmon Arm campground, we camp here for a week every year. Boat stays in the water all week.

I guess thats not what I think of when I think of "night" riding. That looks to me like "dusk" riding. In MN, we have 30 mins after dusk. So essentially if you can't see, you can't ride. Great lookin water too!!

man thats a sick background i get tired of looking at trees, mud, and ugly water.... but the heli ur talking bout samw is that the light bars and are they bright ??

that red bull black out is on my lake! spenchey has a few pictures of the mastercraft they used. we have thought about it there is a section we call the narrows where nobody ever goes and we would surf with tower lights on but we'll have to see.

It seems to me that this thread is a rehash of one we had in January or Feb. Probably will have the same split outcome.

Me I am not a fan of night boarding nor pre-dawn riding.

We have had a couple of deaths over the years on our lake in post dusk and pre-dawn riding. The kids fell in a traffic area near shore and were run over before the tow boat could get back.
